I wound up selling the M15 and using the cash to buy one in M16; RM said they couldn't help me.
Us darker-skinned guys really need to get together and have a conversation with them.
In the meantime, look at this chart. I made it as a reference for myself when I thought I was missing something with this matching business. Note the strong variation in tone in the genital area. When I ordered my first prosthetic from RM, I didn't shave and I just matched the samples to the top of my mons and to my upper inner thigh. This was a mistake. Look at how different these areas are from my "actual" bits!
If you're darker and thinking of ordering from RM, I'd suggest that you:
1. SHAVE. See what tones you have going on down there.
2. ORDER THE SAMPLES. They are at least one to two shades lighter than the chart on the site.
3. Match to the darker tones when in doubt.

Side note: these samples were taken from pics of my skin in natural daylight AND pics of the color samples sent by RM (also in natural daylight).
Here is the M15 STP:
See how it's a great match overall, but a little too light for the genital area? Now check this out. Here is an M17, erect 6 inch that I got 2nd hand:
I thought it would be MUCH too dark considering my overall skintone, but I was wrong. It is a bit dark for me, but I think it's actually a better (more realistic) match than the M15.
Hey there,
New to this site, and found your information for darker skinned guys very informative and helpful. Hopefully you're still following this, but I wanted to ask about the product in your photos. You mention having sold your M15 to get an M16. The caption on the picture, however, says that it's an M17. Is that the case? The picture looks more like what RM calls the M16, but I see that POC have been having issues with shading. I know I could/should go for the darkest available, but I'm trying to avoid paying for custom paint. If the picture you posted is actually an M16, then maybe I could save a few bucks.
Thanks again,
DK
